all these icons should be in a category --SVTCobra 14:24, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- Could you explain that?
•–• 14:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)- Well, templates have a category which summarizes their use like "Message templates" etc., so are these for a mobile app or what? --SVTCobra 14:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- It is just a redirect, and just like gay has no category, I don’t think this one should have, either.
223.237.223.109 (talk) 14:35, 1 May 2018 (UTC)- these are a very specific type of redirect. should we call them icon redirects? --SVTCobra 14:38, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- it would be useful to have something to click on to see them all together. --SVTCobra 14:40, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. We don't have word redirects, afterall. And these are emojis, after all. And they belong to unicode, and that is the charset we use.
•–• 14:42, 1 May 2018 (UTC)- Well, all redirects were "word redirects" until now. --SVTCobra 14:45, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I can see certain benefits of having that category, but aren't the word redirects set of unicode symbols after all?

- where would people see these redirects? what is this project all about? I do't even know where to talk about this, so I just chose a random emoji's talk page. --SVTCobra 15:04, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- This seems an okay place to talk. If it seems like a big thing (which I'm not at all sure it is), it could be {{flag}}ged. We've flagged a whole bunch of discussions lately, vs using the water cooler (if it were worth moving, which I doubt, I'd use the proposals water cooler for this).
Though we don't have a lot of redirect categories, we do have e.g. Category:Non-news mainspace redirects. --Pi zero (talk) 15:15, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- We had this discussion on your talk, and where is it useful: when dearching for categories from my cellphone or chromebook.
•–• 15:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)- So the idea is to enter an emoji in the search bar and get redirected to that topic?--SVTCobra 15:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- How does Category:Emoji redirects or Category:Mainspace emoji redirects sound? --SVTCobra 16:13, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- I think there's probably no need for the "mainspace" qualifier in the category name. If we end up with emoji redirects in some other namespace, I see no reason to omit them from the category (whereas with "non-news mainspace redirects" the category was meant to exclude redirects outside mainspace). --Pi zero (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
